		emmylou harris was born on 2 april 1947 in birmingham, alabama.
		in 1971, harris met chris hillman, who introduced her to gram parsons—both of whom were involved with the flying burrito brothers, a musical outfit known for exposing rock & roll audiences to a country & western sensibility.
		harris' music straddled the line that separates folk and country music and, while the former tends to be a bit more liberal, the later tends to tolerate women only in the role of crowd-pleasing frontwoman.

	Emmylou Harris Discography -- Slipcue.Com Guide To Hick Music
		Regardless of where you stand on the aesthetics of Emmylou, her role as a major influence on both the alt-country and neo-traditionalist scenes is profound and undeniable.
		Emmylou's first solo album was a revelation -- at the time people talked about her music as "country rock", but really what's notable is how she was hearkening back to the glory days of the country heart song.
		Old-school Emmylou fans have never been fond of this album, coming as it did, plunk in the middle of her peak country-rock years with the Hot Band, when she was quite simply on fire.

	Emmylou Harris
		Harris was born on April 2, 1947 to a military family stationed in Birmingham, Alabama.
		Soon, Harris was performing in a duo with fellow UNC student Mike Williams, eventually quitting school to move to New York, only to find the city's folk music community dying out in the wake of the psychedelic era.
		Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt had first toyed with the idea of recording an album together as far back as 1977, only to watch the project falter in light of touring commitments and other red tape.

	Emmylou Harris a one-woman music foundation by Seth Rogovoy
		Aided and abetted by Spyboy, her startingly inventive, electric trio, Harris -- nominally a country singer -- brought her classic, rootsy sound into the '90s, giving it a post-modern twist equipped with enough dash and rhythmic complexity to build a bridge to reach well into the 21st century.
		Harris is typically thought of as a country singer with deep gospel and bluegrass leanings, and indeed she paid tribute to those roots on Saturday night with a number of songs from her back catalog.
		Rather, Harris used her spectacular instrument as a musician, playing her voice with its spectacular range and variety of color and tone.

	Metroactive Music \| Emmylou Harris
		Harris may be the last great pre-Garth country traditionalist, but her background and instincts have always drawn her to newer rock edges.
		But Emmylou's imminent calling is hip-hop's cutting edge, where she's needed by the country boys of "hick-hop" and the soft boys of "emo-rap." I'm surprised she didn't guest on Bubba Sparxxx's 2004 rap hit Deliverance in the first place.
		Harris would give a poignant boost to Bubba's sad and restless "She Tried," where a fiddle loop rides a sparse clippity-clop beat into classic country regret.

		Harris' real talent -- only fully revealed in the past five years -- has been her ability to thoroughly reinvent herself while remaining true to her original sensibility.
		Harris was born on April 2, 1947, in Birmingham, Ala., but grew up as an Army brat in the Washington suburbs.
		For those out of touch with her since 1980, the new voice -- light as a feather, rough as sandpaper, a razor-edged break between her lower and upper registers -- was as shocking as the harshly grainy cover photo.

		Emmylou Harris's formula has been to match a crack crew of left-of-center country players with an assortment of tasteful tunes and head into the studio with a nonintrusive producer.
		But, what I enjoy most about Emmylou Harris is that she is not afraid to take chances and this recording is a major departure from her previous work.
		Emmylou Harris has been around for a long time and I defenitely get a sense of her musical wisdom through Wrecking Ball.

	Emmylou Harris Discography (p.2) -- Slipcue.Com Guide To Hick Music
		Emmylou's producer on this disc is Richard Bennett, and along with Paul Kennerly (who plays guitar on a few tunes...) he seems to add a pretty rock'n'roll flavor to most of the proceedings.
		It's interesting that Emmylou -- who built her career around picking simple, beautiful country love songs and infusing them with emotional power through her voice alone -- has come to a point in life where her own artistic vision is so profoundly spiritual and complex that it can only be accomodated with muted, quiet reserve.
		Harris herself, and the album has a thematic cohesion that sets it apart from her usual, run-of-the-mill fabulous country discs.

		I was actually the one to inform Harris that it would be playing on North Carolina public television the night before her MerleFest appearance, and her voice immediately picked up a notch.
		When she's at home, Emmylou Harris spends the bulk of her time, well, playing or writing or listening to music.
		Harris isn't real big on the state of radio these days, especially the lack of variety on country radio.

	Blogcritics.org: StarPolish Interview With Emmylou Harris
		Harris was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1947, and grew up an Army brat first in North Carolina, then later in the suburbs outside Washington, D.C. Her grandfather purchased her first guitar — an old Kay acoustic — for her when she was 16, spurring her to practice diligently.
		Throughout the 1980s Harris recorded constantly, winning accolades for albums such as Roses in the Snow in 1980, and the popular Trio album she recorded in 1987 with friends and musical partners Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt.
		HARRIS: I kind of felt that I had to do it after Wrecking Ball, because Wrecking Ball was such an epiphany and a resurgence of creative energy for me. And I felt so energized by it that I wanted to go back to that sound, to that place.

	Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris, 1970-1972
		Parsons, Harris, Tashian and the three Presley musicians formed the core of the band on GP (Reprise, 1973), though several other musicians also appear, including post-Parsons Flying Burrito Brothers Al Perkins, Byron Berline and Alan Munde.
		He had managed to hire such great musicians that they needed little guidance from him: Emmylou Harris mostly worked out her own harmonies by ear, and Hardin and the band arranged most of the tracks spontaneously.
		Emmylou Harris's crystalline harmonies perfectly complemented the heartfelt but sometimes wobbly tenor of Parsons.

		11 of the 12 songs on "Red Dirt Girl" are by Harris, and they capture a range of emotions, from the dark and the loving to a sense of loss that is carried through so poingnantly with her voice (which I feel has gotten better with age, thank you very much).
		Harris reflects on loss, transition and loneliness, and the instrumentation compliments her to a T. The while album starts off strong with "The Pearl," the standout tracks (for me) come towards the end -- with the beautiful closing trio of "Hour of Gold," "My Antonia" and the sad but funny "Boy from Tupelo."
		It's pretty clear that Emmylou Harris (EH) was trying to repeat the ethereal atmosphere of the previous "Wrecking Ball" (an astonishing album).

		Stumble into Grace is a sublime affirmation of all the qualities that have made Emmylou Harris the pre-eminent American songstress of her generation.
		By the time the listener reaches the extraordinary "Lost unto This World"--surely a spark of the divine in musical form--it will have become abundantly clear that after more than three decades in the business Emmylou Harris is now making some of the finest music of her career.
		I just hope that for her next venture Emmylou Harris returns to the more organic and subtle approach of Daniel Lanois who did such a wonderful job producing Ms Harris' last two masterpieces.
